Can I split this loft room to make 2 bedrooms...help

[Delilahx]

Hi, I'm after some advice. I'm fingers crossed finally moving out of rented after leaving a horrible marriage. I've finally got enough together for a deposit and have offered on a property. The loft is done out as per the pictures. I was wondering if there is anyway I could split this room into two and it work out ok. It's for my 2 oldest boys, late teens. Oldest has ASD. I think it would mean one going through the other ones room to get to the stairs because of lack of space. The whole house needs redecorating. I was hoping someone would have an ingenious idea that is staring me in the face but cant see! But it could just be impossible too. Thank you in advance.

@ivykaty44 if mum is in the loft room the boys can come and go at night ;)

Good luck with your new venture & moving forward

It doesn't sound dramatic at all. Best of luck with it OP, I hope you and your family are really happy there.

Where in the dining room and in what direction are the stairs?

I wonder if you could steal a little bit of bed 1 to make a hall for the stairs and block off the access to them from the dining room so the dining room can be a proper bedroom.

Then you would have the lovely sitting room and the kitchen as common spaces and a decent sized room for each.

@Delilahx also bare in mind that the boys (well one anyway) won’t be loving with you forever! So don’t do anything too drastic that in a couple of years there maybe less people living with you anyway. Good luck!

Saw this amazing bunk bed design and thought of you, OP!

fruitshootloop that bunk bed is amazing!!! Thank you. I await my mortgage approval now so fingers crossed. That design would divide the room too!
